SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMMERSION COOLING WITH SUBCOOLED SPRAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18403581 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMMERSION COOLING WITH SUBCOOLED SPRAY
Simplified Explanation
The thermal management system described in the patent application is designed to cool electronics using an immersion tank, a working fluid, a heat exchanger, and fluid conduits. The heat exchanger transfers thermal energy from the working fluid to ambient air to cool it, while the fluid conduits facilitate the flow of the working fluid between the immersion tank and the heat exchanger.
- Immersion tank for cooling electronics
- Working fluid to absorb heat
- Heat exchanger to transfer thermal energy to ambient air
- First fluid conduit for fluid communication between tank and heat exchanger
- Second fluid conduit for spraying working fluid back into the tank

Original Abstract Submitted
A thermal management system for cooling electronics includes an immersion tank, a working fluid in the immersion tank, a heat exchanger, a first fluid conduit, and a second fluid conduit. The heat exchanger is configured to transfer thermal energy from the working fluid to ambient air to cool the working fluid. The first fluid conduit provides fluid communication from the immersion tank to the heat exchanger, and the second fluid conduit provides fluid communication from the heat exchanger to a spray nozzle to spray working fluid into the immersion tank.
